Sonar Platinum/Melodyne issue [Solved by 1st update]

Wow, that was the easiest SONAR install I've ever done.  The Command Center is amazing for speed of download and install, no more entering serial numbers.  It was so fast I was sure that the install didn't work right but everything was good.
 
Sonar Platinum so far has worked flawlessly except when tuning vocals with Melodyne.  After adding a region FX and tuning one part of a clip it seems there are artifacts (skips and repeated vocal stutters) on parts of the clip that I didn't even touch.  This has happened a couple of times, I'm looking for a recipe to reliably reproduce it.  In the meantime if any of the other early buyers could check it out and see if they have any similar issue it would help to see if it's something particular to my setup.
 
It's not the kind of skip/pop/crackle you get from running with insufficient audio buffers.  It's repeatable and seems to permanently change the audio in the exact same spot (though of course undo or removing the region FX prior to bouncing returns it to the original state.)  I have set my audio buffers to max and it doesn't make a difference.
 
Other than that I'm really impressed with Platinum so far.

I'm getting this as well on several Projects. Hope it gets fixed soon!

Not to hijack the thread, but I migrated to new Sonar as well, and every went swimmingly EXCEPT melodyne.  I can't get it to show up as an effect at all.  I owned essential before, got it from X3 as well and now have  it again.  I installed, I "reinstalled", I checked my various VST paths, but no love.  Everything else went great. Still shows up in X3.   Did you guys do anything special to get Melodyne in the new version?

I was under the impression that Sonar Platinum won't be available for download till January 21st. So how is it possible that you're using it?

You could sign up for an "I'd like to get it early" e-mail. Some people (like me) got said e-mail. Dunno why they chose to do it like that, but there you go.

Yeah . . . may be something going on with Melodyne (I have Editor version), I installed Sonar Platinum, smoooothly . . . when I opened an existing X3e project, right away there is a problem which automatically generates the cakewalk problem reporter, mentioning "melodyne" as being the issue, but when I try to submit the problem to cakewalk, the problem reporter locks up and hangs . . . sorry, couldn't wait more than 5 minutes, had to cancel it and restart Sonar.
 
So I try to open the same project again, and it works . . . opened other X3e projects with melodyne and they work . . . I'm hoping it just fixed itself ?
 
Tested, creating some new melodyne region fx, and melodyne editor seems to work fine on my system now, no crackles or pops . . . so, I can report that it is now working well for me.

Downloading Platinum now... assume that as I have editor with X3 I SHOULD NOT download essentials....
 
Correct?????????

thnx

I haven't tried Melodyne yet but all of my Antares Avox 4 plugins start crackling and spitting as soon as they're inserted on a vocal track. Same plugin and project in X3 is all fine.

You guys are making a pretty good argument to wait...I use Melodyne editor fairly often.
 

I am still downloading so you guys are ahead of me.
 
Have you tried the vst reset and scan? I remember we all had to do that when X3 came out.

Ok, I made a little video. At the end, the audio and video get out of synce. Probably something I did in my haste and tired state of mind. But this is what I am getting...

I'm getting the same problem with melodyne editor and AVox, both of which work fine in X3.....thank god I didn't install on my main machine yet just my laptop

I had the same experience on both counts; a quick and easy installation of Platinum via the Command Center, but I also had some weird artifacts in Melodyne when I bounced the clip.

The Melodyne clip played correctly before bouncing so something went awry in that rendering process. I tried VVocal and that worked fine. In another project I tried Melodyne and it worked fine there (though the phrasing of words was much simpler).

Hi Sylvan, that is pretty strange. I tried to replicate your test test at home but Melodyne renders perfectly here both in real time and on rendering the audio. Do you mind uploading your project with just the single track that shows the problem. Delete everything else but that single clip and save to a bundle file. Then load it back and see if the problem still occurs first. If you can still repro please upload the file somewhere and send me a link. Also check if turning Multiprocessing on or off has any bearing on the problem..
 
We may need to ask Celemony for assistance with this since SONAR doesn't control the rendering of audio within Melodyne directly. None of our testers ran into this specific issue so we need to investigate further before we can determine what is causing this if it indeed is different from X3.
 
thanks,
Noel
